NFS vs pserver: update problem

[Malcolm Fernandes]

Hi,

cvs-1.11.1p1  on the Solaris platform.

A user tried to update a directory as follows (via pserver):

% cvs up  ./

and gets a message:
? .depend
cvs-1.11.1p1 server: Updating ./
cvs-1.11.1p1 server: .//Makefile is no longer in the repository
....

All the files are removed from that directory.

% ls
CVS


When the user tried this (via pserver):
% cvs up -l
? .depend
cvs-1.11.1p1 server: Updating .
U Makefile
...

All the files are updated as expected

% ls
CVS    Makefile
....


However, when this command was tried via a NFS update, the files were
not removed from the directory:

% cvs up ./

% ls
CVS    Makefile
....

Any idea why this is happening via pserver and not via NFS.

Thanks,

Mal
